Modeling Crowd and Trained Leader Behavior during Building Evacuation

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: This article considers animating evacuation in complex buildings by crowds who might not know the structure's connectivity, or who find routes accidentally blocked. It takes into account simulated crowd behavior under two conditions: where agents communicate building route knowledge, and where agents take different roles such as trained personnel, leaders, and followers.
